This is probably the best film i have ever seen.From the moment the film starts you can feel for the prisoners in the camp. Scantily clad political and religious prisoners so harshly treated and in what seems to be such a cold and desolate place. With just a thin prison garment and many having no shoes,with the sleet coming down almost constantly.The prisoners are constantly being beaten for trying to keep warm but wear anything under your prison garment even a newspaper and you are savagely and mercilessly beaten. Even for having a religious view one prisoner for not penancing god was hauled up on a post by his hands that were tied behind his back. Show that you are a bit frail and the guards will work you to death. As the sleet falls one prisoner dies and there is a scramble for his wooden clogs.If you ever want to see a film that is Drama of the very best then watch Tag you will never forget it and it will be etched in your mind forever.
